Problems with right mouse button on 2.07

Recommended Posts

I'm finding the right mouse button to be very unpredictable at the moment. Sometimes nothing frobs, sometimes I have to hold to open doors, etc. However, there is one symptom which is very clear: lock picking doesn't work at all, instead I have to hold down Enter. I *think* this is new since updating to 2.07 (and the hot patch for lighting issues).

 

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Sounds like something new.

 

Did you try to reset config file?

It means: back up your darkmod.cfg, then delete it and start TDM again.

 

Also note that before 2.07, Linux build of TDM intercepted all input for itself, so even Alt-Tabbing was hardly working.

In 2.07, some input goes to the OS (see 4190). For instance, if key bindings overlap with system ones, you may have trouble.

Maybe the same happens to right mouse button. Or maybe you press some key which partly switches to OS, which starts handling clicks.

My apologies. It's definitely my mouse, it's causing trouble elsewhere. Sorry about the noise.

I work in QA at a gaming company. Haha. First question would have been if you had tried another mouse, or if your mouse was wireless. Could be something caught inside the mouse. Never hurts to blow it out with compressed air.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
